And here I think of my 5x7 Elwoods (3 in total) as light and compact compared to my 5x7 Besslar (commercial) and way smaller/lighter then their bigger brother, my Elwood 8x10's (2 in total).
In the photo you see two of the 5x7's, the common diffusion head and less common condenser head (in the spot where they may finish up) and one of the 8x10's support arm and (most of) head, sitting on the floor in the horizontal projection position. I still need to build another building to continue emptying this one to then finish out as the darkroom it was planned on being...
I do suspect it is the perspective and the fact that both of the heads are most of the way in the down location, the tops of the masts is above the top of the lamp housing in that image.The one on the right looks like mine - but I think the mast of mine is taller. May just be the perspective.
Full height and they are around 5 feet tall.

No re-badged - because of that peculiar desire of some US distributors to add the distributor's name to product, and to change its badging to one that only they offer.So the ones in the US got demoted.

Just like Bogen tripods and, to a lesser extent, Gossen meters.
IIRC, it was at $2600 (or maybe $2300) when it was first listed.
+1 Love my Peak Model 1. Shockingly, you can still buy replacement mirrors at BH.I can get excited about grain focusers, such as the Peak Grain Focuser. One can make a real difference.
What I would like to do, though, is to try several so that I can choose the one that works best for me in the long term.
I had an old Durst that I wish was still here. It wasn't an expensive one but it could do 6x6 and the negative laid right on top of the condenser. Maybe a 606? The controls on it were precise, and everything on it was simple, well designed and over built.
To each his own but I did have a thing for my Fujimoto...
Still my favorite enlargerMaybe the Durst M601? That was my main enlarger growing up and well into adulthood- a great enlarger. I sold it when I went to 6x7 and that's when I bought my first LPL. The M601 went up to 6x6.
